Rudik [331]

Answer:

1.8 s

Explanation:

Potential energy = kinetic energy + rotational energy

mgh = ½ mv² + ½ Iω²

For a thin spherical shell, I = ⅔ mr².

mgh = ½ mv² + ½ (⅔ mr²) ω²

mgh = ½ mv² + ⅓ mr²ω²

For rolling without slipping, v = ωr.

mgh = ½ mv² + ⅓ mv²

mgh = ⅚ mv²

gh = ⅚ v²

v = √(1.2gh)

v = √(1.2 × 9.81 m/s² × 4.8 m sin 39.4°)

v = 5.47 m/s

The acceleration down the incline is constant, so given:

Δx = 4.8 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 5.47 m/s

Find: t

Δx = ½ (v + v₀) t

t = 2Δx / (v + v₀)

t = 2 (4.8 m) / (5.47 m/s + 0 m/s)

t = 1.76 s

Rounding to two significant figures, it takes 1.8 seconds.

Heat is transferred at a rate of 2 kW from a hot reservoir at 800 K to a cold reservoir at 300 K. Calculate the rate at which th

vekshin1

Answer:

0.00417 kW/K or 4.17 W/K

Second law is satisfied.

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Rate of heat transfer, Q = 2kW

Temperature of hot reservoir, Th = 800K

Temperature of cold reservoir, Tc = 300K

The rate of entropy change is given as:

ΔS = Q * [(1/Tc) - (1/Th)]

ΔS = 2 * (1/300 - 1/800)

ΔS = 2 * 0.002085

ΔS = 0.00417 kW/K or 4.17 W/K

Since ΔS is greater than 0, te the second law of thermodynamics is satisfied.

A 1200 kg elevator accelerated upwards at 2 m/s2. Draw a force diagram for the elevator. Calculate the force of tension in the c

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

4800

Explanation:

You have to multiply the 1200 kg and the 2 m/s2. Then multiply the other 2 by the 2400 because it was the answer to the first part now after you multiply your answer is 4800.

A circular pipe of 25-mm outside diameter is placed in an airstream at 25C and 1-atm pressure. The air moves in cross flow over

kifflom [539]

Answer:

f_D = =3.24 N/m

Explanation:

data given

properties of air $\nu\ of air =19.31*10^{-6} m2/s$

$\rho = 1.048 kg/m3$

k = 0.0288 W/m.K

WE KNOW THAT

Reynold's number is given as

$Re =\frac{VD}{\nu}$

$= \frac{ 15*0.025}{19.31*10^{-6}}$

= 1.941 *10^4

drag coffecient is given as

$C_D = \frac{f_D}{A_f\frac{\rho v^2}{2}}$

solving for f_D

$f_D = C_D A_f*\frac{\rho v^2}{2}$

$=C_D D*\frac{\rho v^2}{2}$

Drag coffecient for smooth circular cylinder is 1.1

therefore Drag force is

$f_D = 1.1*0.025 *\frac{1.048*15^2}{2}$

f_D = =3.24 N/m

Converted to<br> Energy<br> Electricity powers the lights<br> for a building.

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

More than enough solar energy (8.2 million quad BTUs, 1 quad = 2.9 x1011 kWh) hits Earth's surface each year to meet all of societies' needs. Currently we use about 400 quads per year to run our society. Good building design allows passive use of sunlight to heat homes. Simple solar collectors are used to heat water and cook food. As useful as it is for these purposes, thermal energy from sunlight is still a low quality energy compared to electricity. Computers, most machinery, light bulbs, subway trains, and much more all require electricity. It is possible to turn thermal energy from the sun into electricity. In this unit we will examine how.

. We will also examine how to make electricity directly from light using the photovoltaic cells.
